^this, the interest is nothing to do with safety, purely they are TRump/Elon supporters and hence they weaponise the their court systems. After all if safety was the concern they would be after Grok as well which has even worse safety record than ChatGPT.

Easy to sell out when you are only producing a handfull of devices

I think even with this Star Trek has em beat with the latest outings of star trek academy, even as a die hard star trek fan I could not watch more than a couple of episodes, or maybe they are just a little behind, next will be Jedi training school full of pointless teen angst.

It is very rare that a driver just doesn't work, it is usually it works but is unstable or certain functionality stops working. In order to test that driver 584 it also implies they have hardware for it. might seem simple for a card, but lets times that out by 50 manufacturers each with 20 to 50 models and that is just video cards. Now lets do that with printers or motherboards or every other item. You would need a massive amount of people and hardware to even do the most basic of verifications. This absolutely has to be the hardware vendors responsibility, it is just not scalable any other way.

how sad is ones life that they think recording country music would somehow piss off white people lol

A lengthy sentence for a REPEAT offender who was currently on bail for previous offenses. When you add in all the facts this really isn't a case of him being punished because it was someone rich, it is him being punished for not learning his fucking lesson and being caught doing the same shit over and over.

10,000 testers would not even scratch the surface of the number of drivers and hardware combinations that need testing.

Hardware manufacturers sell and make hardware, often the software and drivers are an underfunded afterthought. No easy fix for this problem.

I know of their actions, actions speak volumes, they are both arseholes.

While that indeed paints Altman in a bad light, I don't see how it is relevant to the actual court case here apart from trying to paint him as a bad person (which obviously both he and musk are)

Clearly a sign you are completely out of touch with what is happening in the world. component shortages and prices have made new PC upgrades incredibly expensive. This isn't just happening for Windows PC's

There is lead time between sales, manufacturing and shipping. Their first half year sales for manufacturing have almost certainly finished so they will know exactly how many they will ship in the H1.

Not really ages, a week. mind you the article they are talking about is a week old and related to Microsoft Defender which is used by customers to monitor cloud servers, many of which are unsuprisingly linux. So while this slashdot article seems to try and imply it is MS pointing fingers, it is nothing of the sort. It is just a standard blog article warning its userbase of an at the time very serious vulnerability, why it is here a week later on slashdot is another question.

An IT admin can already do that if they have this level of access encrypted or not.

It is definitely a potential vector, albeit a low risk one and not one the majority have any need to be concerned over. HOWEVER, given they were one of the big pushers for secure storage and management of credentials this sets a horrible precedent and they should know better.
